Suspension HELP!

How the HECK do you keep your tires on the GROUND !!! I just finished installing a 4.5# Powerdyne.. The rear end will break loose at 40 - 50 mph... Are there some suspension tricks or things I can do to help keep the tires planted.. I know the obvious answer is to change to drag radials.. Let me know your thoughts.. This is also in the forced Induction section so sorry for listing twice. I have been told to use LCA Relocation brackets however i have been told by several NHRA Suspension builders that they are not worth the money.. But I cant tell you if they have ever used them, so I might be getting just there opinions and not actual data.. Any help would be great.

Re: Suspension HELP!

You are getting "f-body" advice from NHRA guys. Get your facts from people on this board seeing as how we own the cars and use them every day. For traction I bought LCA's (Lower control arms), relocation brackets, panhard bar, and drag radials. I can gaurantee if you buy this stuff, you will NOT be breaking them lose at 40mph, theres no way... Others say a torque arm is good for traction as well, but theyre expensive...

Re: Suspension HELP!

Well that was my thoughts i just asked them figuring they build parts for the Fbodies also and should have some sort of idea.. Oh well.. Ill get a torque arm, bracket relocation and the drag radials.. On the relocation brackets is there an advantage one way or another on the weld-in or bolt in?
